ABOUT THE TEAM + ROLE
We are building an elite team, applying frontier technologies to the world’s biggest financial problems. We’re looking for bold
thinkers. Sharp problem-solvers. Builders who are wired to make an impact. Robinhood isn’t a place for complacency, it’s where
ambitious people do the best work of their careers. We’re a high-performing, fast-moving team with ethics at the center of
everything we do. Expectations are high, and so are the rewards.
The Red Team team’s mission is to proactively identify and simulate real-world threats against Robinhood’s platforms, properties,
and people. Through red teaming and adversarial simulations, the team evaluates security controls, uncovers vulnerabilities, and
helps continuously strengthen Robinhood’s overall security posture in close partnership with Detection & Response, Physical
Security, and Engineering.
As a Staff Offensive Security Engineer, you will take a hands-on role in designing and executing stealthy adversarial simulations
to validate assumptions and uncover gaps in detection and response. You’ll leverage threat modeling, penetration testing, and
research-driven techniques to emulate sophisticated attackers, while collaborating cross-functionally to improve defenses and
shape more secure systems.
This role is based in our Toronto, Canada office(s), with in-person attendance expected at least 3 days per week.
At Robinhood, we believe in the power of in-person work to accelerate progress, spark innovation, and strengthen community. Our
office experience is intentional, energizing, and designed to fully support high-performing teams.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Plan and execute red team operations, adversarial simulations, and penetration tests across applications, infrastructure,
networks, offices, and internal processes.
- Perform threat modeling for new and existing services, clearly articulating security risks and tradeoffs to engineering and
risk stakeholders.
- Conduct vulnerability research, exploit development, and testing using both custom tooling and public proof-of-concept
techniques.
- Partner with detection and response teams to simulate realistic attack scenarios and evaluate monitoring and incident response
readiness.
- Write and maintain tooling to automate and scale offensive security assessments.
- Serve as a subject matter expert by documenting findings, recommending remediation strategies, and supporting teams through
fixes.
- Mentor teammates and contribute to shared knowledge through internal documentation, presentations, and external talks or blog
posts.
WHAT YOU BRING
- 8+ years of hands-on experience in red teaming, offensive security, or penetration testing.
- Demonstrated experience mentoring or guiding other security engineers.
- Strong understanding of threat modeling methodologies and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
- Experience testing modern environments, including cloud platforms (AWS, GCP), containerized systems (Docker, Kubernetes), CI
pipelines, and identity systems.
- Working knowledge of defensive security tools such as IDS/IPS, EDR, packet capture, and network monitoring, including common
evasion techniques.
- Proficiency in Python, Go, or JavaScript for exploit development, tooling, or automation.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical findings to both engineers and senior
leaders.
- Experience collaborating with distributed teams and documenting work through tools such as Slack, Jira, GitHub, and email.
BONUS POINTS:
- Experience working in financial technology or regulated environments.
- Prior experience serving as a technical lead on security initiatives.
